Yesterday I bought a calendar for the coming year. It’s a pleasure to open that first page and see all those clean white spaces, full of possibility. How can I make the most of those 365 empty squares, during our next twelve-month trip around the sun? Steadily those calendar pages will fill with gardens to be planted and harvested, illustrations to be drawn and painted, grandchildren to be loved and enjoyed.

Pencil study for a new series of angel paintings
Tropical storm Ida rolled in from the Gulf this morning, but she has been a surprisingly well-behaved visitor. She thoughtfully watered the new transplants for me (brussels sprouts, chard, heirloom collards) and in her wake — as so often happens during hurricane season — we will have several crytalline fall days with blue skies and low humidity. Thanks, Ida!
I’m working on pencil sketches for some new angel paintings. They unfold in front of me, gradually revealing themselves, and I’m glad to go wherever they are leading me.
On this cold, wet windy evening… here’s a cheerful thought and a delicious recipe for vegetarian cabbage soup. The cheerful thought took shape this way. First, a sketch:
Then, some paint:
And the cabbage soup recipe is from one of my favorite foodie sites, the ever-tasty 101 Cookbooks.
Enjoy!
